Twin Cities Dunkers Fund
Totals for the night are being compiled but for the more than 220 members and guests in attendance they won't be surprised to hear that the more than $170,000 and counting is a record single-year total for donations to the Dunkers Fund.
The Minnesota Timberwolves/Lynx were the 2023 sponsors of the event providing a live auction item of a road trip with the team next season - team plane, team hotel, team workouts, team meals - the whole deal! The trip brought at record $25,000 for a single item bid!
As part of the sponsorship, the program's for this year was a conversation with Ethan Casson, the team CEO, and Michael Grady, the TV play-play announce for the team.
The Dunkers Fund is a program that started in 1997 as a program to provide a couple scholarships to a few deserving students. In 2011 it transitioned into a program that, as of 2022, provided $1,107,588 in financial assistance to the 14 Twin Cities high schools to help them purchase much needed athletic uniforms and equipment. Soon, the final number for donations for 2023 will be added to that total!
